We are Phoenix area artists that I believe has created a new form of artistry. We call our work "Cementitious Artistry". Cementitious refers to pertaining to cement. We take existing tiles and plaster the back side, then create scenes on the plaster with colored grout. Sometimes food color, glitter, glass baubles, etc. are used to accent. The finished works are then sprayed with a clear enamel to protect & seal.
JEFF THE ARTIST |
I began working on swimming pools in 1979, then progressed on to doing cement related repairs on swimming pools in the mid 1980’s and becoming a licensed swimming
pool repair contractor from 1994-1998.
I primarily did repairs to the cement-based aspect of the swimming pool; the plaster, shotcrete, tile and decking. I worked for a swimming pool tile company from 2000-2001 doing repairs and installing new tiles on new swimming pools.
Having always enjoyed working with cement/grouts, I decided to venture off into a new business where I could use my creativity in a whole new way- at least one that I’d never heard of- "Cementitious Artistry"! |

BRENDA THE ARTIST |
I have been designing flowers since 1980. I started in my hometown of Essex Junction, VT with my two sisters. I am a master designer, earning this distinction in 1986. I also did a few competitions at the state and regional level and came away with designer of the year twice for Vermont.
In designing I do prefer to use drieds/preserved, since they were at one time "alive", although the permanent botanicals (silks), have come very far in their look and feel.
I try, when designing these pieces, to put a positive feeling in all these creations, so when someone looks at them, they will put a smile on their face. |
